I took Teddy's comment to mean soon as well, but I don't see the big deal. A new solo album by any of them at this point is not going to garner big sales, and I'm sure Keith is well aware of that. Nor is it what it used to be for anyone except maybe mega stars like Taylor Swift. There is a two month break between the AU/NZ tour and the rummored South American tour. If the album is released then, Keith would probably do a little publicity during the holidays, and then it would be back to the tour. I seriously doubt Mick will care, he's been busy with his own projects during this break of the tour. I imagine that, whatever Keith decides to do about the new material, he will discuss it with the Stones first.

Pretty solid thinking. I believe the idea is that Mick is busy between Stones activities promoting Get it On and producing his and Scorsese's HBO very high profile rock drama, which is in full swing and will film for the next six months. Keith doesn't do much of that, so this is his personal project. He is apparently planning to do some live dates, though I have no idea what shape the band might take. Steve Jordan aside, this is not an X-Pensive Winos album per se. For all we know, a sober Ronnie and even MT might have some involvement. Either way, this is all being coordinated with the Stones camp, and record company. Maybe the Stones touring is stretching out longer than anyone expected. But whatever Keith is doing is all right with Mick.


Movies and music or rather a solo album - these are two different beast. I still find it's very strange (at least) to release a solo album in the midst of band activity. This breaks some unwritten laws, that's why many folks here have a hard time to believe it. That's my opinion of course, you look at it differently, obviously
But the main thing - I do not want this solo album business turned as nasty as it was with his book. Then they also said it was coordinated with the Stones camp and Mick was all right with this. Turned out it was a direct lie or wishful thinking and the band almost split up as a result of the release of this book.
Moreover, Keith Richards knows only one trick for promotion of his solo projects - namely badmouthing Jagger.
I do not think the band could survive another KR' s interview like the one with London's Time where among other things he discussed Mick's genitals and claimed Marianne told him that.
What he'll tell this time - what he thinks of L'wren suicide and how Mick can't handle women?

I'm sorry if my words are a bit harsh - but at this stage I expect anything from Richards

Nah, I can see him trotting out some line like "these were my little babies, but at some point you have to let them go out and walk on their own". Besides, something needs to tie into Johnny Depp's movie. Expect Keith to be very generous about Mick : "best frontman in the business", and say that this just a little sidetrip before "we get back to the big deal".

So obvious and so true.

Under normal circumstances I would agree that to release a solo album during the band's tour is not a good thing.

On the other hand this is not exactly a normal tour, short stints and long pauses. It could go on for who knows how many more years.

The final production reflects somehow the time when it is done. If the thing is finished now, it might sound off if released in 2017!

I don't think there's much debate on what Keith 'can' be like.

I just believe that we should allow for him to actually 'screw up' before we start piling on the criticism. It's all a bit premature to be castigating the guy for:

1. Releasing a solo album between tour legs when it actually hasn't even happened (and if it did, I could personally care less, and would buy the album) and,
2. Berating him for promoting it in a way that belittles Mick, when that has not happened either.

What's happened in the past is past...if MJ's forgiven, why couldn't we just leave it at that? If he's a bastard again, I'll elbow you two OFF the top of the soap box.

I think that his urge is partially explained by the fact that Mick gets too much attention and affection lately, and that everybody somehow forgot about Keith Richards. That's why he does not want to wait until the end of the tour

Suspect the timing of the release is more business than personal. Perhaps to coincide with the release of another long simmering project, the Johnny Depp documentary.

As far as waiting until the end of "the tour', not sure that there actually is a tour. It's more open ended.

A few dates, some time off. A few more dates, some more time off. Do whatever in the meantime and in between time, and get back together when/if they want to do more shows.

If Keith ends up releasing this and promoting it with a handful of live dates in between the end of the Aussie dates and the rumoured 15 On Fire, it can only be a good thing, as it will keep his chops up for the next set of Stones dates.

Ronnie puts on shows in the breaks, so does Charlie, so I don't see the issue with Keith doing it.

I also imagine Depp's movie will be up-to-date enough to include a nice mea culpa from Keith about the whole Life brouhaha.

those are the billboard numbers-dandelion powderman i know you're a huge keith fan.i'm the same way,and for me it probably started before you were born.the first time i saw the stones i saved every dime of my money and my best friend and i wanted to see one guy-as we called him then-"fckin keith!"

he didnt disappoint-anyone who tells you the 1975 tour wasnt great is an a-hole who either watched a bunch of grainy youtube videos and listened to bootlegs or some chump who sat in the back.

it was un-freakin -real. those pictures you see of him with the leathers and the prayer scarves,leaning back from the knees with his eyes closed and just wailing on the macabre,the old teles,the gibsons-and it was just screaming,cranking out the best rhythm guitar ever played by anyone,ever.

he stood right between charlie and bill most of the time,it was like someone rowing a boat,working with a bass on one side and drums on the other.it sounded sooo good,like a dream you'd have about seeing the rolling stones.when my friend and i left our mouths were hanging open,we didnt even say anything at first we just kept giving each other these sideways glances and saying"whoa" and "wow"- after we got in the car we had worked our way up to "holy shit"

not everyone who says something negative is attacking-mostly we're just giving an opinion about a certain interview or record.you dont have to defend every note or every word,keith'll be fine.

Re: Keith recording for "new solo album" in NYC
Date: August 1, 2014 07:33

Understood, lem. But my initial point was that Talk Is Cheap sold way, way more albums than Superheavy, mainly because the market had changed drastically - because people don't buy records anymore.

Therefore, the chart positions can be a bit misguiding presented like that.

Not feeling attacked. Just tried to be a bit funny, as well as a bit informative.

PS: Great description of the 75-tour which I unfortunately was a bit too young to attend thumbs up

I took Teddy's comment to mean soon as well, but I don't see the big deal. A new solo album by any of them at this point is not going to garner big sales, and I'm sure Keith is well aware of that. Nor is it what it used to be for anyone except maybe mega stars like Taylor Swift. There is a two month break between the AU/NZ tour and the rummored South American tour. If the album is released then, Keith would probably do a little publicity during the holidays, and then it would be back to the tour. I seriously doubt Mick will care, he's been busy with his own projects during this break of the tour. I imagine that, whatever Keith decides to do about the new material, he will discuss it with the Stones first.

Pretty solid thinking. I believe the idea is that Mick is busy between Stones activities promoting Get it On and producing his and Scorsese's HBO very high profile rock drama, which is in full swing and will film for the next six months. Keith doesn't do much of that, so this is his personal project. He is apparently planning to do some live dates, though I have no idea what shape the band might take. Steve Jordan aside, this is not an X-Pensive Winos album per se. For all we know, a sober Ronnie and even MT might have some involvement. Either way, this is all being coordinated with the Stones camp, and record company. Maybe the Stones touring is stretching out longer than anyone expected. But whatever Keith is doing is all right with Mick.


Movies and music or rather a solo album - these are two different beast. I still find it's very strange (at least) to release a solo album in the midst of band activity. This breaks some unwritten laws, that's why many folks here have a hard time to believe it. That's my opinion of course, you look at it differently, obviously
But the main thing - I do not want this solo album business turned as nasty as it was with his book. Then they also said it was coordinated with the Stones camp and Mick was all right with this. Turned out it was a direct lie or wishful thinking and the band almost split up as a result of the release of this book.
Moreover, Keith Richards knows only one trick for promotion of his solo projects - namely badmouthing Jagger.
I do not think the band could survive another KR' s interview like the one with London's Time where among other things he discussed Mick's genitals and claimed Marianne told him that.
What he'll tell this time - what he thinks of L'wren suicide and how Mick can't handle women?

I'm sorry if my words are a bit harsh - but at this stage I expect anything from Richards

Nah, I can see him trotting out some line like "these were my little babies, but at some point you have to let them go out and walk on their own". Besides, something needs to tie into Johnny Depp's movie. Expect Keith to be very generous about Mick : "best frontman in the business", and say that this just a little sidetrip before "we get back to the big deal".

Andrew, you are a fountain of wisdom...expect soon that your exile to Vancouver island will be lifted and you'll be again welcome to join us on the mainland.

Exile on Rain St.?

There is a place called "Rain City Grill" but it's on Denman street.

If this was even ten years ago, I'd probably agree with Proud Mary over the poor timing. Of course, they used to make non-compete clauses part of their deals for that same reason. As far as we know Keith doesn't even have a record deal. This release will likely be through his Mindless Records imprint like VINTAGE WINOS. Sales will be negligible. Not negligible the way fans snipe at Mick's solo work (selling 300,000 copies of your album does not constitute a failure unless only platinum status qualifies as success). Even if it is tied to the Depp documentary and gets some press, the days of TALK IS CHEAP and Keith having the ability to earn a gold record came and went over a quarter of a century ago.

Thanks for confirming, Teddy. Thus far, Stateside they've done deals with Interscope and A&M among the UMG family of labels.

Is everybody happy ? smileys with beer Cheers

Not really;

I ordered a gin & tonic, a lemon squash, and a scotch'n'soda -
And not only am I STILL waiting for my order: BV apparently has deleted my call.

I guess because he considered it to be 'off-topic' here!?

Well I must say: I can't stand reading this part of the "critic's section" without some alcohol, combined with a good John Cleese witz thrown in (a reference, not only to the Cleesemeister himself but to the Mocambo side of "Love you live" too!, the dude obviously didn't get)... so: I'll get me coat.
